1024 Words
(Olivia) then he kissed me on the cheek and left me there (Jackson) oof, that's rough, this story is finally getting good (Olivia) you're such a sadist, I was depressed for days and just sobbed in bed as I watched love stories, I always thought Chad and I would be up there one day with our own little video.I mean, look at me, my face is dreamy for anybody to work with. Anyway, just when i thought the worst thing in my life had already happened, the police showed up one night and incarcerated my dad for embezzlement. He was charged for stealing money from his investors and before i knew it, my life really turned up side down. Most of our assets were seized by the government. And we had to leave our house only with things we could carry, I managed to put on 14 dresses, 9 shirts, 4 pants, 5 coats, 6 pair of shoes and 2 bags. Mom and I moved into a tiny apartment on the poor side of town and we got a lawyer, but it looked like an open and shut case with too much evidence against dad, and he was sentenced to prison for a decade. I swear I am innocent I have been framed, I need you to believe that I'm not a crook (Olivia) of course we believe you daddy, we'll get your name cleared, I promise. Naturally my first course of action was reaching out to dad's friends for help. (dad's friend 1) you need to leave, I can't be seen with you ummm my girlfriend is a very suspicious woman (Olivia) aren't you married (dad's friend 1) exactly (dad's friend 2) I wasn't running away from you, I was just getting some exercise oh look what an unusual bird ( Olivia) where? ( dad's friend 3) I recently hit my head an I have amnesia, I don't who your dad is and why he made me your GODFATHER? (dad's friend 3) gotta go, I need to poop. (Olivia) Chads father was out of town and I was so relieved when he returned. He was dad's BFF, if anyone would help he would. (Chads gate man) I'm sorry, but sir is still away on business (Olivia) his car just passed me as I walked here (Chads gate man) you must be mistaken he's not home (Olivia) I can literally see him in his study from that window (Chads gate man) let me put this another way, miss he clearly stated that whenever you show up here, I have to say he is not home (Olivia) that just made my heart break, no one wanted anything to do with dad. Because they all thought he was a crook. Next I turned to my own friends. And I only met more closed doors. Wow, really, Penelope? Remember the only person who could look you in the face when you went through your hideous acne phase? and remember who's shoulder you cried on when the plastic surgeon botched your nose job? and remember who took the blame for your smelly fart when you were hanging out with your crush ? You know it, ME! Mom had the same luck with evert one she knew, she soon took up a job in a grocery store and enrolled me in a near by public high school. I thought I might feel better with the distraction, but I was a fish out of water.The kids smirked at my clothes, they smirked when they asked me if my dad was the rich guy who went to prison, and they smirked as they walked past me at lunch. Mom got her first paycheck soon, and she took me out for a manicure to cheer me up. As I looked down at my perfect lavender nails the next day at school i felt more positive than I had in weeks. I wouldn't sit alone at lunch anymore, I would get to know these kids, and they'd get to know me. And they see how lovable I was and (shrikes) I went flying forward with my food tray, and fell flat on my face. As I got up feeling hideously embarrassed, I suddenly noticed it.Two of my nails were chipped, my perfect nails not so perfect anymore. Who is the idiotic, pea-brained buffoon who crashed into me? Oh come on we were just playing ball (Olivia) in the cafeteria? did the football field catch on fire? did an earthquake split it open? did a tsunami wash it away? Hey calm down, weirdo, what's the matter with you? (Olivia) You wanna know what's the matter with me? I had the perfect life, I had the perfect parents, and the perfect friends, and the perfect house, and the perfect boyfriend. And if my name wasn't Olivia, it would be perfection. But then it all started blowing up the day I tripped on a sunflower and broke my lavender shoe. Now I'm here, in this stupid school, looking like a hobo with chipped nails! I jumped into the boy and started pulling his hair, and pinching his nose, and twisting his ears. It took several people to get me off him. And then I started crying uncontrollably, I could barely breathe (Jackson) I think she's having a panic attack. Give her some space guys. Hey, Olivia, look at me, your gonna be okay. Just breathe (Olivia) so yeah, I lost my mind, you helped me come down and brought me to your work place (Jackson) I had to you were clinging to my hand like a python (Olivia) and now you know my whole story, you're probably thinking, look at this whiny, rich girl who lost some money and can't handle it. But it's not just that, I never realized before that my entire life was fragile I just never saw this coming. Jackson reached over and put his hand on mine. (Jackson) I wasn't thinking that you've been through a lot, and I'm sorry (Olivia) thanks, by the way, How tall are you? (Jackson) 6'4" (Olivia) no wonder I've been feeling so tiny all day.
